This Jaguar XK140 finished assembly on April 18th of 1956. It left the factory finished in Pastel Blue paint over a red leather interior. Dispatched to the United States on May 11th, it was distributed to Charles Hornburg's dealership in Los Angeles. Power was from the more powerful version of the XK120's 3.4-liter dual overhead cam engine, and offered improved cabin space and amenities, particularly with the Special Equipment versions. This particular Roadster is one of those SE (Special Equipment) cars.
Besides being an SE car, this was once owned by Roy Rogers, the television cowboy. Original ownership history is not known, though some believe it was owned originally by Mr. Rogers. The second owner was Robert Robeson of Arden, North Carolina who states he purchased the car directly from Mr. Rogers in 1958.
Mr. Robeson owned the car as early as 1965 and retained it for over four decades. The car is believed to be original, other than an older repaint, and still retains its factory-fitted upholstery, trim, rubber seals, glass, and brightwork.
The current owner recently acquired the car from Mr. Robeson's son.
The car has its original toolkit, owner's manual, wire wheels, twin fog lamps, dual exhausts, a crankshaft damper, and the C-Type cylinder head.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2014
